How to Avoid Asking the Wrong Question

Have you heard someone say that whether your
bellybutton is an "innie" or an "outie" is
determined by how a doctor ties off your
umbilical cord? That's a myth started by
author Ian Flemming. Flemming's famous spy,
James Bond, muses about the special
techniques practiced by French doctors which
gives French women perfect navels. I'll
correct this myth momentarily...

Quite often, at a public gathering, someone
approaches me with a variation of this
query: "Doc, I'm trying to (insert a health
or success goal here), but it's not
working. What should I do differently?" I
almost always respond the same way: "Boy,
are you asking the WRONG question!" I'll
reveal the right question shortly.

Focusing on what you "do" is a normal and
common method of self-improvement. Unfortunately,
that focus is the reason you are often, at
best, not as effective as you'd like and
you are, at worst, spinning your wheels. If
you're not careful, focusing on what to do
differently, even with the best directions
to guide your new actions, can be like
rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic!

Forget about being funny!

The Fun Factor teaches you extensively about
Humor Actions, or Humor Activity. Humor Actions
are where the rubber hits the road, where
you physically manifest your humor skills. My
patients have found that The Fun Factor's
Humor Actions alleviate physical pain,
overcome depression, motivate another round
of challenging therapy, and inspire hope
to boldly face the day with optimism!

My nonmedical Fun Factor clients find that
the Humor Actions they learn from The Fun
Factor guide loving family reconciliation,
create physical energy that makes coffee
unnecessary, lead to self-confidence that
elicits admiring whispers and second looks,
and inspire creativity and performance that
open economic doors of prosperity.

This is exciting stuff!

Exciting enough to lead people to ask me at
parties, "Doc, what should I do
differently?" But that is the wrong
question!

What is the right question?

As wonderful as it would be to jump right in
to building a glorious mansion by installing
the cool, fancy, and expensive "extras," you
know that you must first build your
mansion's foundation. It is just as
tempting to jump in and start to practice
Humor Actions. After all, you want to
experience those benefits NOW! But if you
start with Humor Actions, you are working
the process backwards.

You must start with Humor Attitude. You
must begin your journey toward incredible
health, happiness, and success by retraining
your brain, by creating new beliefs. Our
"get it done yesterday" society trains us to
look for shortcuts. All successful people
know, however, that your attitude is so much
more important than your actions.

That's why Abraham Lincoln famously
said, "If you gave me four hours to chop
down a tree, I'd spend the first three
sharpening the ax." That's why the right
question to ask isn't, "Doc, what should I
DO differently?", but "Doc, what should I
BELIEVE differently?" Focus on your
Humor Attitudes today, before you try even
one Humor Activity!

By the way, it doesn't matter what the
doctor does to a baby's umbilical cord. After
a week or so, the part of the cord that
remains attached to the newborn shrivels up
and falls off. Whether the bellybutton will
be an "innie" or an "outie" is randomly
determined.

It matters greatly, however, whether you
choose to focus on your attitude or your
actions. There is nothing random about
success; create a great Humor Attitude
before employing proven Humor Actions. Rely
upon The Fun Factor's focus on Humor Attitude
to set a foundation upon which you'll build
your mansion!

reactions to latex condoms. They say they
cause severe swelling. So what's the
problem?"
